Thanks to Kevin James Hurtack (the zombie wrangler himself….), I found internet radio.

Of course, I knew about ‘net radio before Kevin mentioned it in a recent blog posting, but I hadn’t had the opportunity to check things out and listen – dial-up prevented that. With DSL however, I can listen, and I can hear. Headphones are wonderful for people who have damaged their ears using headphones.

Anyway, back to why I’m posting. Recently, royalty rates for broadcasters have been raised, and are going into effect in a couple of weeks. Not only are they going into effect but they are retroactive. More information here.

I wish I had the money and the means to support ‘net radio by becoming a VIP subscriber at Live365. There are three stations on my preset right now, two of which I’ve spent hours listening to (and yes, I feel guilty for having a free account and getting this much enjoyment out of it) – WitchCast, and Metal Shop. I’m going to go and look for more stations as well, and maybe I’ll find one for each of my weird moods/muses. I write best when listening/not-listening to music.

After all, Interludes was written to some of the harshest industrio-metal-grunge-rock combos I’ve ever seen.

So – if you’re in the US and you have the wherewithall to help fight this fight, please…click the link above and do what you can.
